H A Dwm8994-core.c202b5689 Thu Oct 27 05:20:18 CDT 2016 Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> mfd: wm8994-core: Don't use managed regulator bulk get API

The kernel WARNs and then crashes today if wm8994_device_init() fails
after calling devm_regulator_bulk_get().

That happens because there are multiple devices involved here and the
order in which managed resources are freed isn't correct.

The regulators are added as children of wm8994->dev. Whereas,
devm_regulator_bulk_get() receives wm8994->dev as the device, though it
gets the same regulators which were added as children of wm8994->dev
earlier.

During failures, the children are removed first and the core eventually
calls regulator_unregister() for them. As regulator_put() was never done
for them (opposite of devm_regulator_bulk_get()), the kernel WARNs at

WARN_ON(rdev->open_count);

And eventually it crashes from debugfs_remove_recursive().

Fix the kernel warnings and crashes by using regulator_bulk_get()
instead of devm_regulator_bulk_get() and explicitly freeing the supplies
in exit paths.

Tested on Exynos 5250, dual core ARM A15 machine.
